It works fine for connecting to a SOAP server, unless you need to support SSL or client certificates. It's very bare-bones, and easy to use - you instantiate the object, connect to a socket, send a string, and get a response. > if not, what would you recommend using with CF? There are lots of alternatives to CFHTTP out there. Most will meet your needs. You probably want to determine what exactly your needs are. This may very well depend on the specific SOAP server to which you want to connect. For example, a few months ago at the DC CFUG, someone did a presentation on a specific SOAP client implementation which had to use SSL and client certificates, and make multiple connections to the same SOAP server. He wrote a Java CFX to do this, and used the JSSE and JAXP libraries to handle security and XML parsing, respectively.
